We're not done fighting back. We need your help. Join us!

Our Issues

Building the Middle Class

How Unions Benefit All Working Families

Unions tilt the balance of power from employers to workers, ensure all workers are treated equally and that workers earn a living wage to support a family.

Securing Our Future

Improving Infrastructure, Education & Childcare Will Grow Our Economy

There are four public policies that directly support employment: Improving the share of the population with a bachelor’s degree; Increasing the number of three and four year olds in state early childhood education programs; Improving and expanding roads, bridges, highways, subways, railroads, and waterways; and Reducing the average travel time commuting to work.

Fighting For Fair Wages

Benefits of Prevailing Wage & Living Wage Laws

A prevailing wage law protects local construction standards and ensures that workers earn living wages that allow them to support families. Prevailing wage laws do not increase the total cost of construction.

Equal Pay for Equal Work

Reversing The Trend Towards Greater Income Inequality

Income inequality is on the rise in Illinois, driven by the redistribution of wealth from labor to capital. We're working to reverse this trend and ensure that women and minorities are paid equally for equal work.
